Fails 20 Find COIOrow.

OMAHA, NEB.. Aug. 23.-General
Crook received a dispatch yesterday
from Major Randlett in command of
Ft. Darchesne in which he gives an
account of an unsuccessful attempt to
find Colorow and negotiate with him.
The dispatch stated that Indian Agent
Byrnes in charge of the White River
Utes at Uintah Agency had sent out
a white man in company with Eluency,
Colorow's son, to a point near Meeker
where Colorow was supposed to be
camped. On arriving there they
found the camp had been burned
and domestic utensils were scattered
about as if the place had been eyacu-
ated in great haste. Young Colorow
said he was confident the camp had
been attacked and burned by cow
boys. 1t was also reported that Capita,
widow of Chief Ouray, had been made
away with, as she was among the mis-
sing squaws. The Utes at this agency,
so the dispatch says, have no knowl-
edge of any outbreak and understand
that the Colorado authorities are after
Corolow for violating the game laws.
General Crook said he had received no
direct information that there had
been an outbreak and is strongly in
clined to the belief that there is nothing

that Chipetar, the widow of Ouray,

ers with the Indians. If such is the
case it is thought serious trouble can

Valparaiso, Ind, Oct. 14.-The verdict
OF the coroner's inquest at the Koutz dis

"The accident was the result Of negligence
ofthe train dispatcher in permitting the
passenger train to run with disabled en-
gine, knowing that a fast freight train was
but few miles behind, and by the neg
ligence or carelessness of Engineer Dor
sey, OF the freight train, to run his engine
at high rate of speed through a fog
knowing the passenger was but a short
time away with disabled engine" The
verdict being in accordance with the facts
is that the deaths resulted from careless
ness or negligence on the part Of the
train dispatcher or engineer, and censur-
ing the company for allowing a crippled
engine to pull passenger train q few
minutes in advance Cd fast freight.

CASTECA PLACERS.
A Fine Showing of Gold Dust
Rich and Extensive Dfgg ms.

Rich and Extensive Dtggtns.
Mr.. w. w. Jenkins, who has been
in this city for several days from his
home in the Casteca district, showed
us vial of coarse gold dust yesterday,
containing some eighteen ounces of
placer gold, the bulk Of which was
composed of nuggets worth all the way
from 25 cents to 81 each. This had
been taken out in four days by two
men, by a new method of washing.
As he explained the process to us,
the washer consist of vibrating ma
chine, into which small stream of
water is run. It is of iron, and has at
one of its extremities steel forks that
work their way into the gravel, caus-
ing it to fall separated into the sluic-
ing machine. Mr.. Jenkins thinks this
new washer is success, especially in
placers like the Casteca, where there
is a very small supply of water.
The company which was organized
several years ago to bring water to
these placers from Elizabeth Lake and
other sources, have done nothing late
ly to bring their ditch to these mines,
as was originally intended. 1t seems
that after they had carried their canal
for several miles in the direction of Cas-
teca, they quarreled and lawed among
t lemselves. and the work, consequent
ly came to standstill. If by some
means energy and new life could be
infused into that work, and an ample
supply of water brought into the dis
trict, the output of dust would be
something marvellous. The whole OF
the Soledad country, for twenty miles
one way and fifty another, is aurifer
Gus. The deposits are not spotted,
but G neral.
1t is not generally known that the
6rst gold discovered in California was
on a part of this auriferous belt. In
1887 Don Abel Stearns sent large
sample of it to the Philadelphia mint,
and the certificate of assay, showing
it to be very pure, is among the
archives of the Pioneers at San Fran
cisco. But specimens were found
long before that, and in the ante
American period gold dust from these
placers was regular merchantable
commodity in the Los Angeles mar
ket. The Yakis, from Sonora, who
are the best placer miners in the
world, used to come here regularly
every winter and work in coyote holes
in these mines. With a short crow
bur, bateo or wooden bowl and a
horn spoon as their entire outfit, they
would go to Castaca and Piru and
along the Soledad canon. Their in
stinct would lead them to the best
places; and they would sink hole
with their bar large enough to let
their body in, and on reaching the
auriferous gravel near the bed rock,
they would drift until they struck the
richest leads, and these they would
follow like moles, getting the very
cream of the auriferous deposit with
the least amount OF work. tits among
the early traditions of old Los Angeles
that many very large nuggets had
been found and brought in by these
Yaki miners.
